Shri Narendra Modi has stated time and again that the question of whether India or China will emerge as the leader of the 21st century will be determined by the manner in which we empower our youth with relevant skills. Shri Modi is a firm believer in the India’s demographic dividend and has stated repeatedly that it is our youth who will fulfill Swami Vivekananda’s dream of a Jagad Guru Bharat.
In the last decade, Gujarat has taken several strides in enhancing our youth with skill development. Be it revamping ITI structure, giving job letters to ITI educated youth or focusing on soft skills, the tireless efforts of the Gujarat Government in skill development have delivered phenomenal results. On 21st April 2013 Gujarat’s Kaushalya Vardhan Kendras were awarded the Prime Minister’s Award for Excellence in Public Administration! Here we bring to you aspects of Gujarat’s efforts in skill development in the form of Tweets:

Shri Modi’s thoughts on why skill development matters
Read @narendramodi 's blog on skill development. He calls for strengthening Yuva Shakti through skill development
For me, skill development is most important dimension of our nation's development journey @narendramodi
Shri @narendramodi 's simple, powerful Mantra for the youth, SKILL+WILL+ZEAL
A first in the nation, Gujarat launches Swami Vivekananda Superior Technology Centres for youngsters
In a 1st, Guj has launched 20 Swami Vivekananda Superior Technology Centres for the youth
Swami Vivekananda Superior Technology Training Institutes will encourage skill, research & development via technology
Along with skill development, comprehensive focus on soft skills
Under guidance of @narendramodi, Gujarat has also focused on soft skills along with skill development
In this video, @narendramodi gives example of G-Auto to share how soft skills can make a difference
Society for Creation of Opportunity through Proficiency in English (SCOPE) launched in 2007 by Guj Govt. It has trained over 3 lac people.
SCOPE has trained over 3,00,000 people since its start in 2007. Target is to train 5,00,000 people in English skills
Revamping ITIs, making them the gateway of success for thousands of youngsters
Phenomenal changes in ITIs of Gujarat under leadership of @narendramodi. Courses revamped, budget increased
Earlier, studying in an ITI was considered to be a disadvantage but now, Gujarat has broken all these barriers
Government ITIs are present in all 225 Talukas of the state. Over 50% of them are run of PPP basis
Guj's ITIs have engaged in partnerships with several private firms, MNCs. This has opened new opportunities for youth
In 2001, less than 3400 women trained in ITIs. A decade later, it shot up to over 67,000 in 2011!
Guj Govt's comprehensive ITI reforms- Class VII + ITI pass student equivalent to SSC, Class X + ITI pass equal to HSC. Very commendable.
5 fold increase in number of ITIs in Gujarat. ITIs are present in all Talukas of Guj. Over 50% ITIs in Gujarat are running on PPP Model.

Gujarat gives Rs. 800 cr for skill development but Centre? Rs. 1000 crore for the entire nation!
Small state like Guj allocates Rs. 800 cr for skill dev in 2013 but GoI allocates Rs. 1000 cr only: @narendramodi
